the hd8 is apparently the only one that has metal parts.. i wonder if you can use any other 3,5 mm cable with them since they have this locking mechanism it seems.Edited by Jerryberry - 1/12/14 at 4:05am

I wonder if these will have a soundstage compared to the HD25/Amperior

i have a feeling it will have a much better sound stage.. just a feeling :) most importantly they are using new drivers so its definately a different sound sig but i wonder if its 40mm or 50mm drivers ?

Decent looks, great form! It looks like it will have a perfect fit! Like a closed hd 650. I don't like its looks but I agree if it sounds great and fits like a lot of the other senns then its on my short list.

Hey buddy...Pro 900 and the m100 are NOT dj headphones. Yes, DJs can use them. I have used these and was actually disappointed as well. However, nearly every Sennheiser product I've purchased has been solid. Ie8,ie80,hd25,hd600,ie800. The only one out of those that is used for djing is the hd25. Sennheiser has had tremendous success with the hd25 as a dj headphone. With that said, they know what people are looking for in a dj headphone. As for these looking like beats knockoffs? Hmm..have certainly heard more ignorant comments on the forums. Once reviews come out and people can test these, then we can compare.

I can see these headphones are really intended for the mass market, nor the professional market. DJs and studio professionals usually use whatever they are provided. Sound engineers usually go for the more proven and robust types of headphones. If they use Sennheiser, that will certainly be the HD-25/26 and variants. And you cannot even attach a mic to these new cans, can you?

The proven DJ headphone from sennheiser has always been the HD25. If the HD25 has always worked, being robust and proven...then the buck should stop there. I am really excited/curious to see what these sound like. I can see professional DJ's using these, not audiophiles, sound engineers etc...the HD8 looks solid.
